Ariel Dechter has become the winning-est player in the history of Women’s Tennis at Bradley University and has done it with plenty of time left in her career. The junior broke the school record set in 2007 by Teri Chan. Dechter teamed with sophomore Aimee Manfredo at number 2 Doubles to secure her 115th win in the Missouri Valley Conference opener at the Evergreen Racquet Club on April 9. She then would break Chan’s record at number 1 Singles against ISU, winning the first two sets of the match, finishing the day with 116 combined wins at Singles and Doubles. As a junior, we are certain she will continually set the bar higher with the rest of this season and, not to mention, her senior year. Congratulations, Ariel!
